Stuart McMurdo, Director of Golf at JA The Resort Golf Course said at the official event announcement, "With the weather now getting significantly cooler by the day, this is our third and final JA End of Summer Classic following our successful two previous events. We have been overwhelmed by the interest in our JA Summer Classics 2020. The initiative was designed to highlight the championship standard golf facilities and 9 hole course at JA The Resort, while also familiarising golfers with the other attractions here at Dubai's largest experience resort. We thank both MEDICLINIC as a partner sponsor of JA The Resort and ProSports International for their continued support.
"The initiative is aligned to our 2020 Staycation Packages at JA The Resort. It is a key part of the JA The Resort marketing programme to encourage 2020 Staycations for this season, whether for non-golfers or golfers," McMurdo concluded.
